Spotfire clients and user roles
When you are working with Spotfire as an author, you can create analyses either using the installed client or using the web client. Even though much of the functionality is available in the web client, the installed client allows you to do more.
However, which functionality you have access to in different
environments can also depend on which license features you have been assigned
by your administrators.
Note: This user guide contains information about all functionality that
can be used in the web client. It also includes some of the functionality that
is only available in the installed client, to make it clearer how someone with
access to the installed client would author or configure that functionality. If
you do not have access to all licenses, some tools and options described in
this help will be unavailable. For a list of the available licenses and
features, see the
License feature reference in the
Spotfire® Server and Environment - Installation and
Administration Manual.
